was. 1t was growing late, and soon

| Presently che reached the river, and

she sat down to rest on one OF the
seats along the wharf
She must have slept. for when she
was aroused by an authoritative order
to "move on" it was quite dark, and
the hush OF night had fallen over the
noisy city YEARLY she wandered
aimlessfy on, resting now and then,
when she thought no ono was watch
ing. She was too tired to be afi aid;
n kind of stupor was creeping over her,
as the long night dragged slowly past.
"Soon 1T will be morning" she said to
herself.
She seemed to be falling-falling fall

an articulute moan, and sank-not on
to the hard pathway, but into u pair
Of loving arms that were held out to
save her. 1t was Jasper, who had
come to take her back to life and love.
"How didst thee know" Asked
Bet.
They were driving home through
the lanes, in the cart with the old old
grey horse that Bet had ridden on
many day, and for the first time
Bet broke the silence.
All the way in the coach Jasper had
been outside, so that he could not
talk, but now Bet began to feel that
old times were coming again.
"How didst thee know" she said.
Then Jasper told her how he had
at once followed her to London. He
went straight to Challoner and got
the truth from him, then set about
searching for Bet.
Some horrible dread had at last
made him wend his way to the river,
where he had found her.
"rhe knows, lass" he added 81 I'd
found AS thee was happy, I'd not have
worried thee. But / feared for thee,

"And- -and--him?" hesitated Bet.
"He'll not forget ME in hurry,
reckon" said Jasper, with grim
chuckle.
There vas 81 short silence. Bet was
so 81 ateful that she could not speak.
Now ard then a tear fell on to her
clasped hands, because she was so
happy. Poor little Betl

A DANGEROUS SPORT.


Perhaps in no part of the country can be
found n mora desirable place for the seeker Of
rest and recreation to spend his vacation than
on the shores of Lake George. The clearness
of its waters and wild beauty of its mountain
surroundings, its fine atmosphere and historic
recollections make it a place of more than
common interest to the tourist Its facilities
for hunting and fishing are unsurpassed.
There is one kind of game that is hunted
with much zeal by lovers Of this sport which
is seldom mentioned as an attraction to the
region. This is the hunting of rattlesnakes
on the mountain lodges and rocky hillsides
every spring. Several Of our oldest residents
make q trip each spring. when the weather
becomes warm enough, to the home of the
reptiles, Of which there are several well
known dens on the lake. Their mode Of cap
turing them is dangerous, to say the least.
Taking their guns, they proceed to the place
where the rattlers are won't to assemble
and beat about among the rocks until one is
discovered. Then they shoot him. Often
times they appear suddenly to the hunter.
Then the sensation is not so pleasant The
snakes are hunted for the sport, but some old
hunters have great faith in their oil, which
they claim isvery penetrating and great
remedy Tor rneumallSill
The killing off of large numbers in spring
lessons the number to wander abroad all
around the lake later in the season, to the
annoyance of cottage campers and hotel
keepers, For as soon as hot weather begins
the snakes leave their dens and roam over
the surrounding country They are great
swimmers, and swim across the lake and
make no choice of landing place Those in
terested have men engaged the season
through i'll killing rattlers Each morning
they go out early with pole and poke into
all places where a snake might be hidden and
kill all they may find. In some spots a man
is kept on the watch at all times for snakes,
so that boarders at hotels as visitors rarely,
if ever, see a snake. In fact there is not an
attendant at a horel on the lake vino can be
enticed to own that he ever saw Il rattleSnake,
to say nothing about killing one. In spite Of
all this watching Iattler will manage to get
into a house once in while, and then there
is music for a short time among the ladies.
Old campers on the lake who have visited it
for years can seldom be forced to admit that
there are many snakes there, unless they may
be inveigled into telling snake stories; then
one gets an idea OF snakes.
Two species of rattlesnalies exist there, but
as a rule they will trouble no one il not dis
turbcd. No cases of anybody being bitten by
n snake is recorded unless he was engaged in
hunting them or had invaded their dens. An
old snake hunter several years ago became so
careless THAT in trying to capture one he un-
dcrtook to catch the snake by the tail as he
Slipped under a stone, and was bitten. Not
enough whisky could be got into him. and
he never hunted any more ratJlesnakes.
Most experienced campers keep supply Of
snake root and whisky on hand in case it
should be needed.-Albuny Journal

THE ARGUMENT OF A BOURBON.

Gov. Foraker, of Ohio. nominated ior
reelection by the Republicans OF tnat
State, has been giving publicity 10 the
Forum to his views on the suOJecS OF
the restoration of the Republican party
to political pTedomlnance. He occupies
much space In that publication with
his reasons why the discTedited and dis
carded old political CrgaI cation shou d
regain the confidence u the people ard
again be entrusted with the control OF
public affairs.
II .divested of its bloody shirt logic
there would be but littl0 left of bis ar.
gument. It has the old Bourbon ring
peculiar to the expressions Of those who
bear bitter remembrance of past sec
.iOnal differences and who forget that
the war terminated more than twenty
years ago.
Foraker still haFps upon Ku.klux
Outrages and the imaginary wrongs to
the ''loyal" COlored population which
seyV'd to fire the northern heart while
carpetbag adventurers we're plundering
tho southern people. He assumes to
OelleVs that nothing but the return OF
the Republican party to power will pre-
vent thu payment Of the rebel debt, the
reimbursement of the late shareholders
for the loss Of their slavee, and the
placing of the rebel veterans on the
government pension rolls.
It Is such stuff as this that the Buck.
eye Bourbon advances as an argument
why a party which the people have
justly condemned should again be en-
trusted with the control of public
affairs, AMI this twaddle appears the
more ridiculous after the people have
experienced two years of honest and
efficient government under Demo-
cratic administration BellefOnte (Ps)

With u southern family in New York there
has been staying for some time young lady
from the interior Of the state. She is of a
philanthropic turn of mind, but her benevo-
lent instincts have recently received q sad
check. Fully convinced that 'where there's
a will there's a way" she undertook to re-
form an old colored servant Of the family,
who loved whisky mot wisely, but too wcll.n
George Washington Jefferson was from do
souf," and, in consideration Of years of faith
full service, the family took no notice Of his
failing But the young lady tried persuasion,
cajoement, scolding, tracts presents and
everything else that good hear5 and earnest
purpose could suggest to induce him to aban-
don his intemperate habits. But ,t was all in
vain. AT last, in fit Of pardonable impa-
thence, she said to him one day:
II declare, George, I'd give you $1,000 ie
you'd give up drinking"
"Lol', young miss, replied the old incor-
rigible, "d'ye know what I'd do wild dat
$1,000 il had itl I'd jes buy Inc lounge,
bar'l o whisky, pump, an I'd hire a

The young lady has given up all efforts to
reform George Washington jefferson, and
nobody demonstrates with him now when he
gets drunk.-New York Tribune.
